Download or read book Voice in the Drum written by Richard K. Wolf and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on extensive research in India and Pakistan, this new study examines the ways drumming and voices interconnect over vast areas of South Asia and considers what it means for instruments to be voice-like and carry textual messages in particular contexts. Richard K. Wolf employs a hybrid, novelistic form of presentation in which the fictional protagonist Muharram Ali, a man obsessed with finding music he believes will dissolve religious and political barriers, interacts with Wolf's field consultants, to communicate ethnographic and historical realities that transcend the local details of any one person's life. The result is a daring narrative that follows Muharram Ali on a journey that explores how the themes of South Asian Muslims and their neighbors coming together, moving apart, and relating to God and spiritual intermediaries resonate across ritual and expressive forms such as drumming and dancing.

Download or read book The Voice of the Rural written by Alessandra Ciucci and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2022-06-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A moving portrait of the contemporary experiences of migrant Moroccan men. Umbria is known to most Americans for its picturesque rolling hills and medieval villages, but to the many migrant Moroccan men who travel there, Umbria is better known for the tobacco fields, construction sites, small industries, and the outdoor weekly markets where they work. Marginalized and far from their homes, these men turn to Moroccan traditions of music and poetry that evoke the countryside they have left— l-‘arubiya, or the rural. In this book, Alessandra Ciucci takes us inside the lives of Moroccan workers, unpacking the way they share a particular musical style of the rural to create a sense of home and belonging in a foreign and inhospitable nation. Along the way, she uncovers how this culture of belonging is not just the product of the struggles of migration, but also tied to the reclamation of a noble and virtuous masculine identity that is inaccessible to Moroccan migrants in Italy. The Voice of the Rural allows us to understand the contemporary experiences of migrant Moroccan men by examining their imagined relationship to the rural through sound, shedding new light on the urgent issues of migration and belonging.

Download or read book Separation of Singing Voice from Music Using Extended Robust Principle Component Analysis and Deep Learning written by Feng Li and published by Scientific Research Publishing, Inc. USA. This book was released on 2020-12-31 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book proposes two extensions of the effective optimization algorithms concentrating on RPCA and Fusion-Net for singing voice separation. One is using different weighted value for describing the separated low-rank matrix. The other is exploring rank-1 constraint minimization of singular value in RPCA. In terms of source-to-artifact ratio, the previous is better than the later. However, CRPCA obtains better separation quality than WRPCA in singing voice separation. The outcomes of this research contribute to further improving the technologies related to music information retrieval. Additionally, the potential contribution of this research is to deal with the problems of noise reduction and speech enhancement by using the separated lowrank and sparse model. Since the background noise is assumed as the part of low-rank component and the human speech is regarded as the part of sparse component.

Download or read book Music Downtown written by Kyle Gann and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2006-02-13 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection represents the cream of the more than five hundred articles written for the Village Voice by Kyle Gann, a leading authority on experimental American music of the late twentieth century. Charged with exploring every facet of cutting-edge music coming out of New York City in the 1980s and '90s, Gann writes about a wide array of timely issues that few critics have addressed, including computer music, multiculturalism and its thorny relation to music, music for the AIDS crisis, the brand-new art of electronic sampling and its legal implications, symphonies for electric guitars, operas based on talk shows, the death of twelve-tone music, and the various streams of music that flowed forth from minimalism. In these articles—including interviews with Yoko Ono, Philip Glass, Glenn Branca, and other leading musical figures—Gann paints a portrait of a bristling era in music history and defines the scruffy, vernacular field of Downtown music from which so much of the most fertile recent American music has come.
